I've been running low for at least a year, 90% of people say it isn't drivable having a car that low. And it's been like that and getting lower for ages, it's used every day, scrapes speed bumps, clips cats eyes, burns grass if you drive over it. I have done about 10,000 miles over the past year and never once have I thought "I wish I had a car I could use"
I just think people need to man up :P


Mind telling us which part of it 'clips cats eyes'?

This got me intrigued earlier so I tried to measure my ground clearance. This is as high as I can get the brackets on the exhaust and still actually get to the nuts. I don't have a back box so no problems caused by that either haha.

But I couldn't get the tape measure under there, it's about 35mm clearance. And just less than 3" for the gearbox casing.

Got a photo of the camber that I noticed today too

35mm minus the amount the suspension travel on a motorway at 70mph.
Did you think before that useful post?

All I can say is fair play for running like that

Mine is lowered a tad on hi-los and I hate crashing over bumps and holes everywhere...most roads I use everyday are terrible!!!
